2008 was a pretty decent year. I visited England, Ireland, and Wales; and despite the drama within my delegation, I enjoyed it immensely and wish to return there asap, perhaps even live there for a time. I met John Green, one of my favorite authors. I became a crazed Wizard Rock fan and got a picture with two of my favorite artists (Alex Carpenter and Lauren Fairweather); and attended NYC Wrock Festival and the Bryn Mawr Yule Ball. I strengthened some friendships and weakened others, both on purpose and by the power of circumstance.
I want 2009 to be better than anything I've ever experienced.
Things that I wish to accomplish before the year's end:
- graduate with mostly A's (damn physics and gov)
- get accepted in to a college (I use my pessimism to purposely crush my optimism so I'm not disappointed with how this might turn out)
- take the best road trip ever (hello California)
- meet John Green again and actually form the words to tell him how much I love his books and what they mean to me
- relearn how to play the guitar (and possibly buy one for myself)
- put music to my poetry
- make Youtube videos and make friends with people on Youtube
- smoke weed (I'm curious and I figure everyone needs to try it at least once, right?)
- watch all of Doctor Who
- attend Wrockstock '09
- write more and actually finish my novel for NaNoWriMo '09
- read 50 books (I tried this for 2008 and I was 14 books shy)
- write something meaningful on the wall of one stall in every girl's bathroom in the school
- be a better person, more sure of myself, less doubtful of others. View others as the complex beings that they are and stop projecting my own ideas of who they should be onto them. Love more people, love myself more, and actually carry out the plans that I think of instead of keeping them as dreams.
I might think of more later, this was just off the top of my head.
